villa4europe Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 look at what brazil are doing with rio though, investing heavily in it, it'll shoot up that list by the end of this decade as i said with germany too, look at the spread, you've listed 7 cities (i think) but only 3 from the UK and the ranking of manchester above birmingham really grinds my gears, its a myth created by the city itself that the people of brum really dont care enough / take seriously enough to ever do anything about, id liken it us and the baggies, they are obsessed with it but half of us dont even realise its a rivalry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 15, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2013 Stuff like this Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta at the end of posts or emails.I couldn't give less of a shit. Cheers buddy. Neither could I. I didn't set the sig, it's on by default. It's not meant to be any kind of badge, I'm not especially proud of my aging phone, I just didn't realise the sig was that big as it shrinks it on the app therefore I hadn't bothered turning it off. You know what pisses me off? The same people following you round making snide comments or liking anything that disagrees with you. Don't mention it. FWIW I wasn't specifically talking about you, my toes curl every time I see "Sent from my iPad" on the bottom of an email. Yours just happened to trigger the memory so I copied it. As for your last point, I'm assuming that's not aimed at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 That BA have removed the "walkers" biscuits from terminal 5 in a blatant attempt to stop people like me stealing a load as I leave to board my plane ...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Dublin is, as I've mentioned before, great in good weather. One of my favourite places and I'd happily live there if the Irish government weren't a bunch of muppets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Dublin is, as I've mentioned before, great in good weather. yes, but how many of us were there on 23rd August 2003 to enjoy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 The inflated importance of the Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon had lost in Russia and then lost the key battle at Leipzig. Lost at Paris and went into exile. Came back and lost Waterloo. Had he won at Waterloo he still wouldn't have conquered Europe. Had he won in Russia or especially at Leipzig he would really threatened to. It's like saying D Day turned the tide of WW2 not Stalingrad. I hate history inflated to give a positive light on the countries involved. Waterloo in my mind is the worst case of English historians doing this.

donnie Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Been watching rick stein in India. Fantastic show considering I normally hate cooking shows. Annoys me that in Birmingham we have no Real Indian restaurants only crappy bangladeshi ones which although okay is nothing like the Indian food I've had when I went to India or the beautiful Indian food on the rick stein show. I've never been to a real indian restaurant in Birmingham and my Sikh friends haven't either. Shame that what people think is true Indian food in the curry houses isn't. By the way India is beautiful Edited July 16, 2013 by donnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
